"I had been asked by KOL Foods to try their turkey for a post thanksgiving campaign and used their turkey legs for creating this recipe. The fun part of this was that this was the first time I had tried cooking with turkey parts, so this will be great in the event I do not want to cook a whole turkey, which would make my husband very happy, since he is the turkey naysayer in our house. This turkey was great to work with for a deeply flavorful, slow cooked sauce. Adding the flavors of cardamom and sage to this sauce offer it a lovely seasonal taste. I would bet that this curry would taste great with duck legs too, in fact, on my list of things to try someday." - Cooking in Westchester/ Spice Chronicles Blog
